How To Fix Alan Wake 2 UltraWide Cutscenes

Alan Wake 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed game, has been met with excitement from fans all over the world. However, one issue that has been brought to light is the problem with UltraWide cutscenes. Many players have reported that the game's cutscenes do not properly support UltraWide resolutions, resulting in stretched or distorted visuals. Fortunately, a solution has been shared by a Reddit user named "OnkelJupp." In this blog post, we will dive into the step-by-step process of fixing Alan Wake 2 UltraWide cutscenes, allowing you to fully enjoy the game's immersive experience.

The first step in fixing the UltraWide cutscenes in Alan Wake 2 is accessing the game's configuration file. To do this, press the Win + R key combination on your keyboard to open the Run dialog. In the Run dialog, type "C:Users[YourUserName]AppDataLocalRemedyAlanWake2" and hit Enter. This will take you to the local user directory where you can find the configuration file.

Once you have accessed the correct directory, you will need to locate the "renderer.ini" file. Right-click on the file and open it with a text editor of your choice, such as Notepad++, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code. These popular text editors provide a clean interface and powerful features for editing configuration files.

Now that you have the "renderer.ini" file open in your text editor, it's time to make the necessary modifications. Look for a specific line in the file that reads "'m_bUnlockAspectRatio': false." This line determines whether the game's cutscenes will be locked to a specific aspect ratio or if they will adapt to your UltraWide resolution. To fix the UltraWide cutscenes issue, change the value from "false" to "true", resulting in "'m_bUnlockAspectRatio': true".

After making the required changes to the "renderer.ini" file, it is crucial to save the modifications before closing the text editor. This will ensure that your changes are applied to the game. Simply go to the "File" menu and click on "Save" or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S. Once you have saved your modifications, you can safely close the text editor.
